Wow. This is my Great Grandfather! My grandfather was Frank James, later Francis John Turley Sr. as my father (1931-1973) was Francis John Turley Jr. My son is named John Francis in their honor. I wish this picture was a bit more clear. Handsome man! :-)

Hey Lizzie,

I found this photo among my dad's (Joseph Leo Turley) few pictures that I managed to get hold of. I am his daughter, Kathy Turley Stevens, and we met a few years ago through email when I was moving from MA to OH. Dad had names on the back of the picture as it was a family visit from Great Grandpa and a few others but it was hard to match names with faces. The picture was taken in 1944.
